For the first 36 seasons, ''Austin City Limits'' was taped at Studio 6A in the Communications Building B on the [[University of Texas at Austin]] campus, on a stage featuring a mock skyline of Austin in the background, which was introduced in season 7 (1982). The studio had a seating capacity of approximately 800, but due to limited access to [[fire exit]]s the audience size was limited to 300. In 2010, the show and its original studio were inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]]. A plaque near the entrance to Communications Building B commemorating the occasion proclaims ''Austin City Limits'' as the "longest running music show in the history of American television".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dallasnews.com/entertainment/music/headlines/20141010-40-year-old-tv-show-austin-city-limits-helps-make-austin-hip.ece |title=40-year-old TV show 'Austin City Limits' helps make Austin hip &#124; Dallas Morning News |publisher=Dallasnews.com |date=2014-10-10 |access-date=2015-06-19}}</ref> On February 26, 2011, ''Austin City Limits'' held its first taping in its new purpose-built [[Block 21#Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater|Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater]] in downtown Austin's [[Block 21]].
